DADS show as racist because it wasn't funny. It was a bunch of grumpy old spouting racist lines in the guise of being "honest." As funny as a tea party KKK doing the twerk. MacFarlane is funny when its a cartoon or a talking bear - otherwise, he's out of his element. He's no Howard Stern or even Don Rickles. There is a fine line - when it's funny like Blazing Saddles, all is fair and good - when it's not, it's 2 BROKE GIRLS or DADS, just hate with a laugh track. DADS only lasted a full season because FOX couldn't offend Seth so this was their way out but otherwise, it was awful - thank God - God saw that it wasn't funny and canceled it. God has spoken.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536c11bfecad04c312a8adeeJust A GuyThu, 08 May 2014 19:22:39 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536c11bfecad04c312a8adee
Isn't the cute Japanese chick Brenda Song? Mmm, yummy.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536c0128ecad043253a8adf0Laurence GlavinThu, 08 May 2014 18:11:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536c0128ecad043253a8adf0
I recall reading that "Police Squad" on ABC-TV was yanked because an executive at the network didn't understand the humor. Apparently, he never saw the movie "Airplane". I have a DVD of all the episodes of "Police Squad" and still laugh at the sight gags and subtle undercurrents. "A donut Frank?"; "Yes, I know".http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536ba5f26bb3f7872f33ed18Eddie ShoreThu, 08 May 2014 11:42:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536ba5f26bb3f7872f33ed18
Sadly "Dads" never had a chance, as it was a victim of a smear campaign. Even before it was on the air there were people criticizing it. When the pilot was screened to critics, they lost their minds because it briefly featured an Asian woman in a Japanese schoolgirl outfit (gasp!). If you actually watched the show, you saw that it didnt actually demean women or Asians and was merely poking fun at stereotypes (as many other shows have done in the past, Dave Chappelle, etc.). It was clearly over the heads of many people who had to stretch and falsely label it as racist/ sexist. I watched the show and enjoyed it because it was pretty funny. I tried watching Brooklyn Nine Nine and couldnt even make it through the first episode because it was so bad.
